We have steadily developed global hatred toward the US. People didn't hate us for no reason and then we reacted to them, we killed/disrespected/exploited them into hating us. In the past 8 years we've easily doubled the hatred. There's probably a 100x more men in the middle East who are now willing to sacrafice their life to take out an American.

We can't just make military attacks inside other countries any damn time we want. We sure get upset when other countries do it to each other. Imagine our reaction if the Mexican military sent 4 helicopters after a gang of gun runners and shot up a few houses in San Diego killing 4 women/children. We are doing the same thing in Pakistan too.

Sid187, I can't help but judge prejudice people as ignorant. What about turban wearing US citizens, kill them too? You should try traveling to some other countries, you would learn a lot. Much as most people here disagree with our governments aggression, the people in Syria/Afghanistan/wherever are not supporters of Taliban/ terrorist aggression either.
